Poem 18

I had to skip some poems-of-the-day.

At first, I fell a day or two behind

and as the days went on, I couldn't find

the best spot to get back into the fray.

I'm slowly learning how I need to pay

attention to the limits of my mind.

When faced with many options, I must bind

my progress to whatever comes my way.

I could have started back where I left off

or spent some effort getting up to speed.

I could have simply skipped the days I missed.

But now I have been pondering enough.

I figure it is time to do the deed

and pick a day at random from the list.
